Shameless podcast plug time: High Command (Star Trek podcast)

So my brother is in town from Seattle for a wedding, and we went and had our once every few years "how's it going brother" lunch. While we're yacking it up about what we've been up to, he casually mentions that he started a podcast. I'm like "oh yeah, I fucking love podcasts". At any rate, here it is:Basically, the format is my brother and his friend smoke a bunch of pot and then do a commentary track for Next Generation episodes. Have to hand it to them, for their first ever effort, they're pretty solid. At any rate, I told him I would introduce his product to the community. He's Captain Rob, by the way. I don't know who the other guy is; just that they're co-workers.

Comments

I only listened to the first 11 minutes, because I didn't really want to watch any episodes, but I think y'all did a great job for what I listened to. The intro.

At one point I was thinking "if I had to critique it, you should probably do your show prep BEFORE getting high" but then y'all read the "air-date" of the show and I fucking lost it, haha. I was like nah this is fine

Yeah, that part cracked me up too. It's funny, my brother has never been a big smoker, but I guess now that its on and popping legally in Washington he's decided to become a pothead (at the age of 34, no less. ha ha). Not gonna lie, I'm pretty excited about this whole project of his. Me and him watched all of TNG, Voyager, and DS9 when we were growing up together, and to this day it's always stood out as one of the things we shared as siblings. Living across the country from each other for so long and just sort of having our own completely separate lives, we don't really bond or keep in close contact, so I'm going to use this as an opportunity to relive some of our childhood. Essentially, I get to just sit there and watch Star Trek with my brother while he talks about it.

My favorite part is right at the beginning when my brother is talking about how many times he's watched each of the series and his co-host asks him "is this your first time watching it high?" "yeah!"
